That was my point. Its not all about money IN THE END. Its about the flow of money: where it goes, and from whence it comes. Energy moves. Money moves. Money represents massive amounts of energy moving through a channel; your awareness, or temporary possession (bank account, wallet, etc.). It doesn’t grow or manifest without work happening. How would you win the lottery if no one played the lottery with their earnings? Money flows in, money flows out. Learn to direct the flow and remember that it can only be dammed for as long as you have the ability and strength to do so.
Black Flame,
The $20 bucks is a success if the magician requires it to flow into her goal (eg. buying a tarot deck and learning divination, or having a drink with a long lost cousin). The same as $20,000 is a success if it flows into a more ambitious goal (eg. leasing space for weekly rituals, or covering a surgery). …Then, its gone. Its not static. Particularly in this kind of economy driven by inflation. Why waste the life force energy energy trying to manifest money when you have no concrete plans or aspirations? Are lazy black magicians good at magic? Lazy humans suck at being human in my experience. It would be fascinating to meet a lazy person sitting on a pile of money happily content and confident that the money will continue flowing in… regardless of expenditures… secure that entitlement is the way to ascend.
